About

In Kristi’s world, there is nothing better than steak with a really great salad. It’s true! Add horseradish sauce, and I’m in heaven!

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t have beef on a low calorie or low fat diet. Not the case. There are many cuts of beef that are very lean. My favorite is flank steak. When time permits, I marinade it overnight, and it comes out so tender and juicy.

Just add my garlicky Mediterranean salad, and you’re on your way to a terrific meal of just around 400 calories.

Can’t beat that!
